PlayScreen Guis have borders around them

Hey everybody! Working with TGB here and all the guis I put on the playscreen have a thin black line border around them. How do I remove this?

so it's not just me at least. The borders show up for me when I run it from the editor and when I build it and run the exe. Tried looking in the Gui's blocks for some "border" variable but I don't see anything. I'm using GuiBitmapCtrl with PNG images. Is there a better Gui to use or maybe a different type of image file I should be using? I don't understand.

I've not used TGB, but in the 3D engines a GuiControl will sometimes default to a Profile that I find undesirable for that control. If the gui system is similar take a look at your GuiBitmapCtrl's Profile (see the profile property) which will be a separate datablock for extra properties such as border, bevel, font, etc not included in the control itself but 'hidden' in the profile.

Thanks Michael! That did the trick! Found it in profile.cs in the common folder for anybody else who has this issue. There is a border variable in the default profile.

Will implement this change.
BTW Andrew, do you have all your GUI profiles listed in the GUI Builder?.
I have found that all installs since TGB 1.6.0 only have 5 default profiles, before you have like 20 or 30 of them.

That's terrible. Actually, I'm still running v1.5.0. That's really strange that 5 would be there and the rest are not.
